Environmental Management System (EMS) as the Foundation for Sustainability

Based on ISO 14001 Standard

Environmental Policy

 Serigraph Inc. believes that environmental stewardship is a corporate responsibility.  Serigraph shall manage its operations in a manner that reflects

continual environmental improvement

of the air, land, and water.  To achieve this, Serigraph shall establish a framework for setting and

reviewing environmental objectives and targets

.

Bio-Filter Operation

Serigraph Manufacturing VOC laden air from Printroom

Reservoir Reservoir

Humidification Chamber Takes air temp from 130 °F to 75 °F and adds humidity to 100% Humid air spreads over bark media which helps micro-organisims "eat" VOCs

Significant Environmental Aspects Impact Action Record Document Performance Indicator Responsibility Reduce VOCs by 5% Consumption of materials, generation of waste (Hazardous) and Non Hazardous) Use cross functiona l teams using DMAIC Process and develop action plans to use UV inks on new and existing programs Minutes Team review of documents at White Board Nick Leifeld Compliance audits and Internal ISO 14001 audits Number of non conformances Scott Wolff

Energy Reduction

 Water Consumption - Process Flow to find waste; Actions to eliminate  Pareto of where Electrical consumption is used; Change lighting which accounts for 22% of cost  Analyze where and what causes Natural gas consumption variation and how better controls can be implemented

Problem Solving

 Define - find improvement opportunities that emphasize the greatest needs  Measure - determine current process capability; Process Flow / Map  Analyze - identify vital few process inputs that affect key process outputs – Pareto, C-E, DOE

Problem Solving

 Improve - Make changes to process settings, redesign processes, reduce number of defects, amount of waste  Control - Implement process control plans, install real-time process monitoring tools, standardize processes, error proof processes
